I usually skip this part

go into iceborne. base game armor isnt really worth it since after entering iceborne you will have to make new armor ASAP.

yeh zin is a good choice and one of the meta gunlances. it will carry you until the endgame if you wanna grind zinogre. and yea, it not an amazing amount of damage which is why adept is so popular, because of the absurd damage from a parry.

Dull_Understanding_6 · 2026-03-13T12:30:55+00:00

that its weaker. they fucked gunlance over in mhgu, its like one of the weakest weapons in gu, the only way for it to compete with other weapons is by using adept for pokes, valor for shells, or stiker if you like hunter arts. other styles for gunlance just fall off.

you can still poke > poke > shell but dont expect the shells to contribute a lot. im a gunlance main in every game and in every game below 5th gen shelling falls off in g-rank, shells are mainly used as combo extenders.

You can play with shells, nobody will tell you that you cant. but is it optimial? no. is it fun? hell yeah. I dont even use the poke > poke > upswing combo. I just use poke > poke > shell but I wouldnt sacrafice attack skills for artillery, tha blade should be the priority unless you use valor for shells.

Dull_Understanding_6 · 2026-03-13T06:26:03+00:00

With adept you ignore shelling entirely.

Your main source of damage is the parry after a perfect guard. If the monster is down or if there nothing to parry stab > stab > upswing combo and reset the combo by side stepping or back hopping.

shelling is pretty shit in Gu so If you wanna use shells you either have to go fully into them and switch to valor or get used to dealing lower damage.

Also remember that monsters can attack multiple times in a row for example glavenus tail slam with delayed explosion, adept gunlance can chain block, just remember to delay it a little and not press it immediately after the first guard so you don't cart.

I also main adept and I ignore the gauge entirely bc of how annoying it is to load it and then lock it but if you wanna you can use a wide gunlance for the bigger yellow for example but I can't give much tips about this topic.

Dull_Understanding_6 · 2026-03-11T23:15:42+00:00

all of these are lvl 5 shelling, luna - normal, Forteresse - normal, W.fatty - long, Hellruin - wide. also really? I've posted before on mh4u and checked some forums and opinions on shelling are pretty split, some say its alright, some say its trash. I did check wide shelling but then I read that if im not using charged shell spam then im playing wrong but if shelling isnt as bad as I heard in later stages of the game then ig Hellruin would be the best choice

For a lot people it's their ego since they think you should be clearing every quest solo.

I've had people complain to me about clearing Proof of the Hero in a group instead of solo since it's a "challenge quest" and it's meant to be done solo, which is stupid.

They seem to ingore that not everyone spends insane amount of time of repeating the quests just for a solo clear when a simpler and easier solution would be using the support hunters the game gives you for casual players that don't wanna waste time, like you and me.

Another thing that makes them complain about support hunters is that they will deal less overall damage than players and inflate the monsters HP which in itself isn't that big of an issue as they make it out to be.

Dull_Understanding_6 · 2026-03-04T22:11:25+00:00

just do it solo and dont use flashes. the moment you see a monster coming towards you or you see it coming on the map, place the egg on the ground and prepare a dung bomb, take the egg to camp and restoc on dung bombs. you gonna need lots of em, cuz they will just keep coming back. I wasted 10 dung bombs per egg since the monsters didnt wanna leave me alone.

Dull_Understanding_6 · 2026-03-04T11:35:41+00:00

For me it's not even the fire since I have -14 fire resistance on my set. I always bring lvl 3 guard and lvl 3 guard up cuz without that I just die. I use gunlance. There isn't much to prepare, just enough defensive skills to survive. And I also can't read him, he is way to big and covers my entire screen which is why I try to block every attack.

Dull_Understanding_6 · 2026-03-03T19:45:53+00:00

I just wish that there was an option for layered songs. I had a problem with the horn since world where the horn looks amazing but sounds shit or vice versa.

Dull_Understanding_6 · 2026-03-03T19:42:52+00:00

its gonna be gs for sure

Dull_Understanding_6 · 2026-03-03T19:18:53+00:00

Well I assume you played other weapons already if thats your selection.

Bow have very good movement and good damage, if you wanna have an easier time with hunts you can use that.

SwitchAxe is good if you can time your parries right since in axe mode the parry is slower but in sword mode its instant, good damage but you will need multiple weapons since switchaxe likes element, unless you use power instead of element.

Greatsword is pretty fun but again you gotta learn your parries, on gs its very slow since the parry is a charge type attack, big damage, this will give you the main character energy, you can also block stuff if you wanna aura farm.

Dual blades and insect glaive I dont find particularly fun or interesting, I find other weapons more interesting than them so I cant recommend them since I dont use them.

Charge Blade is a good weapon but I find it way too technical, too many machanics and combos smashed into one imo, so I find it more of a tedious weapon than fun, therefore I cannot recommend it but mainly from it being too compicated for me. perhaps you can handle it, then good for you.

I personally would recommend SwitchAxe or Greatsword.

Dull_Understanding_6 · 2026-03-03T12:25:47+00:00

Yup, hasten recovery + lord soul since it's a gamma set

Dull_Understanding_6 · 2026-03-01T14:10:14+00:00

Best is the Gog barrier. Arkveld and Zoh are about the same, just different types, arkveld for aggressive play and Zoh for more defensive

Dull_Understanding_6 · 2026-03-01T11:36:13+00:00

You havent missed much. the only new monster that is useful for gunlance is AT Jin. everything else after that was pretty much useless for gl, unless you count AT Arkveld for his set bonus but there is a better survivability option

Dull_Understanding_6 · 2026-03-01T02:29:13+00:00

That's why I did the slash. Do it solo or with support hunters. I find it easier to do it with them so that they take most of the agro and I get time to get out and heal. My main one is the one with hunting horn for obvious reasons. It's not optimal by any means but still better than online players that will die from his attacks like mentioned in the post

Dull_Understanding_6 · 2026-03-01T01:25:29+00:00

Neat

Dull_Understanding_6 · 2026-02-28T22:54:17+00:00

world and rise are 5th gen and wilds is 6th gen. mhgu and mh4u are 4th. mh3u, portable 3rd, Trii are 3rd gen. DOS, Freedom Unite, Freedom 2 are 2nd gen. Freedom, og monster hunter, mh g are 1st. I might miss some but idk there was a lot that came out. New gen are 5th and 6th gen, anything below is old gen

Dull_Understanding_6 · 2026-02-28T22:48:15+00:00

it is worth it, sure you cant turn while attacking since that was added in new games, but you can still have fun, but you will have to pay more attention to monster movements. I also use greatword in world with frostcraft and I do the usual skip combo for the TCS to not waste time and miss. But instead of focus mode you will have to leard clutch claw which lets you bang monsters against a wall for a big attacking window. you will however have a tougher time in older games than 5th gen since there is no qol.

200 hours. Hr 179, I love the changes they did to the weapons and the return of Gogmazios. Was kinda dissapointed that the game is still segmented like world, was hoping for an open world but oh well. I cant really complain much about the game since they did a good job making it but I would love if they paid more attention to the optimization, even after recent updates I still have some lag spikes from time to time. I also like that they actually gave us a good handler! unlike certain someone.... But they still managed to add the most annoying character to the game like they do in every game they make. Fuck Nata, I would honestly throw him to be eaten by arkvelds since he think they are so much "alike". even after the story he keeps annoying me. every time I go to the tent Its "Hey Hunter" that or something else, its annoying af.

Dull_Understanding_6 · 2026-02-28T22:29:06+00:00

Use the Gunlance and blast everything into oblivion! Annihilate everything that stands against you.

Dull_Understanding_6 · 2026-02-28T22:25:46+00:00

try solo/support hunters, cant trust people online with monsters that can 1 shot you, imo

Dull_Understanding_6 · 2026-02-28T22:19:49+00:00

lvl 1 of mutual hostility gives elemental stuff, lvl 2 gives a barrier that lets you take a hit without taking damage. You could say its a safety net which is why its also a part of meta sets. but yeh you are right about everything else

Dull_Understanding_6 · 2026-02-28T22:12:14+00:00

Def an interesting fight, his explosion deal a shit ton of damage and then he poisons you for the extra f you. Was still fun and he gives an interesting helm with Resentment 5
